bold. precise. experimental.

Eluri couldn’t help but let out a slight giggle, seeing the blush of her girlfriend when she tried to look at the Jedi knight. She knew she broke the code her order followed: “There is no emotion, there is peace.” However, to have Pearl by her side was better than serving any order, and she could keep it secret, if need be.

She let out a content hum in reply, and the arms around her made her feel safe, relaxed. “Mm… A little. Today was busier than usual is all. I need to wind down a little bit with my favorite gem.”

Loving someone after loving Rose was something Pearl would have considered near impossible just a few months ago. When Eluri came into her life, she didn’t expect to fall so hard and so fast- but she did, and she didn’t regret it for an instant. Having someone who genuinely loved her back the same way was a change- and a change that Pearl was incredibly grateful to have in her life.

Humans were, typically, not of Pearl’s interest. In the very least, they weren’t something overly memorable to Pearl in comparison to another gem. 

This one, however, piqued her interest when she’d approached. While Pearl was observant, she didn’t seem to click together why this person seemed... different. In a room with different lighting, perhaps, it would have been an immediately recognizable trait.

After everything that had happened recently, Pearl was more than happy to finally see things winding down. Being able to tell Steven everything- and get it off her chest- had been an incredible relief, along with so many different worries finally seeming to draw to a possible close. She had one arm loosely draped over the other’s shoulders, holding him close with the soft sound of the television in the background.

It was... unexpected. Pearl wouldn’t call herself the best with handling these kinds of things, the gem feeling almost awkward.

It wasn’t often Pearl didn’t have a busy day- and she almost preferred it that way. Most of her hobbies themselves weren’t necessarily relaxing, and she’d been more than eager to tackle some household chores once they’d finally finished their missions for the day. She hadn’t expected to feel Eluri’s arms around her waist in the midst of washing dishes, glancing back at her with a light cyan dusting of blush on her cheeks.

Parker was in the same boat- Pearl had been the first person he could comfortably call a mother figure, even better that she soon took in the rest of his siblings in a similar manner, and thus had a very special place in his heart and mind. He almost didn’t want her hands to move away, internally craving that soft, maternal affection he’d grown comfortable with. 

“Uhh- ‘bout as much as we can get them to.” He knew the answer likely wasn’t satisfactory, but it was the truth, and while he sometimes had a bad habit of lying- he couldn’t bring himself to with Pearl. The redhead’s smile turned a little worried at the shift, but tried to stay true. He hoped everything was settled by now, or at least enough.

“..Yeah, if you don’t mind talking about it. I got time.”

“Well... we still have to work on that, I suppose,” Pearl started, a soft smile on her face. She knew that each of the siblings had their own problems with taking care of themselves- and some seemed worse than the others. “Now that things have calmed down more, I’ll be sure everyone gets to bed at a reasonable time and is eating three balanced meals.”

And she would. The siblings were all uniquely important to her- and all of them because of Parker having come into her life first. Her tone shifted as she started to catch the other up from recent events from her point of view; the fear she had of losing Steven forever to Homeworld, the joy that came with him returning, all the way up to the Diamonds coming to Earth. It was a lot, and she knew it was, but she felt the need to let Parker know all of it after being gone for so long.

the worst misconception is being seen as elitist. Like sorry friend would you rather me lead you on to a thread I don't even wanna do??

Pearl was beyond happy to see Parker again. Parker, being the first of the sibs she had met and taken in as one of her own, had an special place in her thoughts- and a place that was undeniably important to her. Her hands fell from his cheeks after a moment, eyes looking over the other after a moment as if to be absolutely positive he truly had been taking care of himself.

“How about the others? Has Lyle been getting enough sleep, is Nancy eating three nutritional meals a day? Martha getting adequate social time?” Pearl didn’t miss a beat between the questions, although it didn’t take long after for her to shift her focus again. The other’s question made her quieter for a second before a light smile tugged on her lips- an awkward, hesitant one.
